Rain was falling down last night, wetting the street, and everything outside. Thank God, I was not going anywhere, just laying on my bed with my sleepsuit on. I was not having any plan to go outside. I was just realizing that being lazy is really gorgeous moment ever (sometimes). LOL. I did not know how cold outside, until my friend came to my boarding house to borrow a rain coat and I opened the gate for her and I realized that it was very chilly outside. I tried to grab any meal with no worry to ruin my diet. It could not warm me because it was only a creepy biscuit and bread. I tried to buy my favorite food, Roti Kalong, but I can not get them last night. It is sold near my boarding house, Soropadan, Gejayan, next to Olive Fried Chicken.

First time I heard about it, I talked to myself, “Does it kalong (bat) look like?” or “Will we change into kalong after consuming?” But those ridiculous thoughts were wrong. I do not know why it is called Roti Kalong. Moreover, it is sold in the evening, at 6 p.m – 11 p.m, that is why it is called Kalong, I guess.

Its appearance is not as special or fantastic as any cake that you can grab in bakery shop. It is sold in a cart or gerobak. It is a traditional food with like-in-paradise taste. The bread is like a burger, but it is not filled with a piece of beef or chicken, but it is filled with any spread you want. I usually buy the bread with rendang
spread mixed with cheese and milk in. It will be more spicy if you ask the seller, to give chilly powder. There are other spread, chocolate and strawberry. If you want to try an unusual flavour, you can choose melon and orange as the filling. Next, it has to be steamed for 3-5 minutes. After steaming, it is ready to serve. You have to eat directly, because the best taste can be felt when it is still warm. You will feel the like-in-paradise taste when you get your fist bite, first cud, and first swallow. Hmmm... Oishi maaa.. Oops sorry, the picture will be updated soon, because last night I did not get it in its counter.
